  3. How Often Should YOU Email Your List/Audience? Chances are, your readers will want to hear from you somewhere between once a month and once a week. Less than once a month, and they may forget who you are or miss out on good offers. More than once a week, and they may see your emails as just more “noise” in their inbox.

  4. An ‘Updates’ Email List An “Ecourse” Email List If readers have joined your email list to take a short ecourse by email, it might make sense to email them as often as daily (if each email is short) .Anything less than weekly won’t be enough for them to make steady progress. Even if you’re only sending out the ecourse material in weekly doses, you might want to send a second reminder email. Let’s say readers have signed up to hear about your new book when it’s released. They might be interested in a monthly or quarterly newsletter about your progress, with links to interesting blog posts you’ve written, or other resources. But they’re unlikely to want emails every week or two.

  5. If you’re not too sure what will suit your audience, ask them. • The easiest way to do this (and get a reasonable range of responses) is to run a survey. You’ll probably want to ask questions that go beyond just the frequency of your emails. For example,  • How often would you like to receive emails from me? • Daily • Twice a week • Once a week • Twice a month • Monthly • Quarterly (every three months) • Other Survey Your Audience to Find Out What They Want

  6. Some Common Problems Related to Emailing Frequency Sometimes, you might be having difficulties with your email newsletter without realizing those difficulties could be solved by changing the frequency. On the other hand, you might also be worried about your email frequency because you think something is a problem when it really isn’t. “I Struggle to Come Up With Enough Content for My Newsletters” “People Unsubscribe Whenever I Send an Email” “I Get a Lot of Spam Complaints”

  7. If you find it tough to come up with ideas for your newsletters, you could: Send out blog posts rather than separate newsletters: Some bloggers send their entire blog post by email. Others craft a short summary or ‘teaser’ and then link to the post. You can send out your post using RSS to email. Write shorter newsletters:If you’re including two unique articles and a Q&A in every newsletter, you’re probably overwhelming your readers as well as yourself. Email less frequently: Obviously, if you go from emailing once a week to once a month, you’ll only need to come up with a quarter of the original amount of content. Re-run old newsletters:If you’ve been emailing for more than a year, you’ll have lots of people on your newsletter list who never saw your earliest newsletters. Problem #1: “I Struggle to Come Up With Enough Content for My Newsletters”

  8. This causes a lot of bloggers to worry unnecessarily. You’ve probably noticed that when you send an email your unsubscribe rate goes up. This might put you off emailing at all, but it shouldn’t. It’s because some people are trying to reduce their incoming emails, and when an email comes in from you it acts as a signal to them to unsubscribe. And don’t worry if you get a lot of unsubscribes whenever you send a promotional email, either. If someone had no intention of ever buying anything from you, let them go. Problem #2: “People Unsubscribe Whenever I Send an Email”

  9. This is a situation where you’ll want to take action, as a high volume of spam complaints can affect the deliverability of your emails. If you’re emailing more than a couple of times a week, it’s possible that the spam complaints are related to the frequency of your emails.  According to Campaign Monitor, one of the most popular reasons for marking emails as spam is because “they emailed too often”. Problem #3: “I Get a Lot of Spam Complaints”

  10. Changing the Frequency of Your Emails Normally, it’s best to change your emailing frequency fairly gradually. Don’t suddenly go from emailing once a quarter to once a week. It’s going to confuse and put off your subscribers. Instead, gradually change the frequency. You might go to monthly emails, then twice monthly, and then weekly.

  11. Let Your Readers Choose How Often They Want to Hear From You. Some readers might be delighted to receive every blog post the day you write it. Others may only want a weekly summary. By giving them the choice, you can keep everyone happy. Conclusion
